Capo 3rd fret
Bm Em Bm F#m Bm Em Bm F#m
Bm Em
Did you mean the things you said?
Bm F#m
Were you pulling ankles and legs?
Bm Em
Do you read when you go to bed?
Bm F#m
Do you lie there shaking instead?
Bm Em
Cause it works both ways with the rain
Bm F#m
leaving the words unread
Bm Em
and I want to have you again
Bm F#m
listening to Bedhead
Bm Em Bm F#m Bm Em Bm F#m
Bm Em
Try to get a little rest
Bm F#m
There's a very big day ahead
Bm Em
I was lost like people feel
Bm F#m
before they find God's love
G D
The best I can say now,
Em Bm
"We made it alone,
Em Bm
no help from hot-air balloons,
Em Bm
saving us in the nick of time"
G D
Don't get your hopes up
Em Bm
Keep them low
Em Bm
Try not to reach so high
Em Bm
Hard work won't pay off in the end
Bm Em Bm F#m Bm Em Bm F#m
Bm Em
What a broken string of events
Bm F#m
What a little tied up loose end
Bm Em
Are you mad that they are all dead?
Bm F#m
Do you wish that you'd gone instead?
Bm Em
Are you pissed that when things got bad
Bm F#m
there was one set of footprints in the sand?
Bm Em
When it's easy you walk alone
Bm F#m
there's a mark for each of your toes
G D
The best I could hope for
Em Bm
is what you'd expect
Em Bm
White lights like icicles
Em Bm
hung up above the porch
G D
I'd just like to say now
Em Bm
before things go too far,
Em Bm
"I hated none of you,
Em Bm
I loved you all at the time"
Bm Em F#m G Bm Em F#m G Bm Em
Bm Em F#m
I like having to run when I don't run
G Bm
and it leaves me so, so tired
Em F#m
I want better for you and for my son
G Bm Em
and the lives we're leading now
Bm Em F#m
I like having a tongue when the words come
G Bm
And even if it gets tied
Em F#m
I want cinnamon buns in the morning sun
G Bm Em
in the airport waiting lines
Bm Em F#m
I like having some fun like anyone
G Bm
with loaded water guns
Em F#m
Your Canadian plum has got me numb
G
Like Novacain in my gum
G D
The best is the smoke blown
Em Bm
back through the flue
Em Bm
like birds returning to a tree
Em Bm
Where their old nest used to be
G D
Now things have changed
Em Bm
or maybe not
Em Bm
That's where you learn to fly
Em Bm
That's where our eggshell lies
